High School Graduation Rates Higher with Fine Arts Programs

City high schools where students have more access to art classes have higher graduation rates, a recent study shows.

"For all of us who are concerned about public schools, the achievement gap, the rate of graduation, this shows that arts education plays a much more prominent role than we had thought previously.“

- Richard Kessler, Executive DirectorCenter for Arts Education –Staying in School, 2009 Study of NY City Schools

Fine Arts Education in the Law

Objective 4 of the Texas Education Code (TEC) states: A well-balanced and appropriate curriculum will be provided to all students. Chapter 28 of the TEC states, “Each district shall ensure that all children in the district participate actively in a balanced curriculum designed to meet individual needs.”

Fine Arts: A Critical Component of the Well-Balanced Curriculum

Fine arts courses are a part of the Enrichment Curriculum, a component of the Required Curriculum. By definition, enrich means “to make richer, to add greater value or significance.” It does not mean “extra,” “not necessary,” “elective,” or “optional.”

Strong Fine Arts Programs Increase the Bang for Your Educational Buck

• High potential student/teacher ratios• Credits are required by Texas law in MS & HS• Higher fine arts enrollment averages correlate to:

Better campus ratingsHigher TAKS scoresHigher attendance ratesHigher graduation ratesFewer discipline reports
